Science

Which outcome reduces hydraulic pump efficiency when lubricating oil viscosity abruptly decreases?

A)Increased internal leakage losses
B)Cavitation erosion risk decreases
C)Volumetric displacement becomes uniform
D)Reduced fluid thermal expansion forces

💡 Explanation

Internal leakage occurs because the lower viscosity of the hydraulic oil reduces its resistance to flow through internal clearances, therefore leakage increases, rather than decreased cavitation risk or more uniformity, which would require different mechanisms.
